Bangs head on table
-
I hang around the forums for a certain piece of software, and one day another member asked about an error he was getting when he attempted to decompress a file. My (correct) guess was that he had a FAT32 drive, and was hitting the size limit, so I gave him a few tips on converting to NTFS (with the caveat that a fresh install is preferable), assuming he was an XP home person with a pre-installed FAT32 drive (remembering that some vendors used to do this).
Lo and behold, his reply:
Now I have to persuade the Administrator to do the same with all our other (317) computers.

Once upon a time, I was the IT lacky at my high school. I had to convert all the machines from FAT16 to FAT32. I feel for this administrator.

Hopefully (317) is a model number and there's only three of them on site.

yeah, but fat32 to ntfs is a bit easier than fat16 to fat32 used to be.-
